i just had the singularly best japanese meal in my life, at akashi at orchard parade hotel. i was never much one for sushi and raw fish, but the ones i had at akashi was damnnnnn goood. the tsukiji market breakfast was great too, but when you dont have to worry about the price of it, it tastes the best, i guess. thats why i loveee my duagu. =)) too bad he didnt bring his camera today so i dont have nice food pics, but i can steal some off his facebook, some pics he took when he ate there last. we ate about the same things; he likes just sitting at the counter and letting the masterchef provide us with a spread. i lost count of the number of types of fish we had..
kanpachi, hirame, kinmedai, shiroebi, botan ebi, kajiki, tai, mirugai, asari, uni, tako, akagai, kawahagi, kani, ishidai, aji, shimaaji, ohtorooo..i think there was more, but i cnt remember them all now. got snails too. and it was the first time i had GEODUCK.. its damn ugly in real life, but damn hao chi in sushi form. i dont want to post the geoduck (pronounce 'gooey-duck') picture here, because its really ugly so
link. some pictures of what i did eat are below:
kinmedai sushi 金目鯛 red snapper
jumbo botan ebi sushi 牡丹蝦 sweet shrimp
a must - the fish of all fish - ohtoro sushi 大トロ fattiest part of the tuna belly
i was a bit apprehensive about this, snail lehh.. but when i put it in my mouth all i could taste was the sauce. the snail itself was firm, not rubbery as i expected, and very easy to chew.
we had champagne too, and sake. not cheap not cheap. thats where my duagu comes in all the time. eff, i just searched and the bottle of champs we shared was effing NOT CHEAP. cristal champagne - can be 350USD a bottle OR MORE. i just drank 100USD worth of champagne! goodness. and the sake, kubota manjyu - limited edition sake. also about 200 bucks a bottle. thank you duaguuuuu for all your love. haha.
duagu says ill definitely go to sleep damn satisfied tonight. i think i will man.
velda.
